New York Gyms & Health Clubs

Staying in shape in this fast moving city is a priority for many, and the myriad of gyms and health clubs match the same passion felt on the Wall Street trading floor.  There is tough competition on this list, however I decided to go with the Equinox Health Club located in the Upper East Side.  I chose this particular gym not only due to the facilities, but also the community feeling you get when working out there consistently.  It’s a great place to meet friends and establish business relationships.
